Deletion review precedent notes: Since we don't have a DRV precedent page, the above is based on the limits of my memory. GRBerry 14:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I can recall only one case where we have speedily closed a deletion review and reopened an existing AFD. That was a non-administrator's speedy close of an AFD, reopened within 12 hours.  Since El_C is an administrator, there is an obvious difference.
 * I can not recall any other cases where we have reopened a previously closed AFD, normally we relist for a new AFD.
 * If the closing admin were to either 1) open a new AFD themself or 2) explicitly agree to hold a new AFD, we would normally close the DRV at that point, with a pointer to the new AFD. A statement about "not objecting" to a new AFD has to be read very carefully; sometimes they amount to saying "go ahead", sometimes they amount to saying "that is a legitimate possible outcome, should that be the result".  The two are handled differently.

Undeletion policy said: "If a discussion is speedily closed, the section header above, ==== Header ====, should remain until the daily log is archived." Did I do it right? -- Ned Scott 02:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * hmm, this is also a subpage, too.. -- Ned Scott 02:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
